The "Black BOX" Lets disable it together so we can slide!
So Ive been doing some reading on this "black box" that kicks on the VDC even when the button is pushed in the OFF position. Its under the center console just behind the shifter. Now, most say that you disable it by unplugging it completely OR pulling the associated fuse. The downfall to that is that you also lose ABS, plus you have to either lift the center console or pull a fuse. Theres no "on the fly" setup for this. I want to setup a SWITCH that breaks the 12v signal to that box so theres an easy way to disable it without doing either of the above. Can someone with a manual help me figure out what wire to install a breaker switch in-line with so that I can disable that box on the fly??
.... When i turn off VDC it says off until i dont turn it back on i can slide all i want 
lol....

I read this post that says its the ORANGE wire.. If someone can confirm that I might be willing to give it a try..

I tested voltage on all the points of the G-sensor harness, only one of them read 12V. (and that only for a moment, then it falls off...kind of strange.) That was the orange wire. I cut that wire and put the switch in line with wires a foot long to allow for lifting up the console for access. I used push together wire fasteners to allow for easy disconnection. I doubt I'll ever go back in there again unless its to return it to stock.

The slip light coming on is just when you have a significant discrepancy in speed between your two rear wheels. It just saves your diff...
If that light comes on your aren't properly kicking the back end out anyway. Never once have I had the car interfere when the VDC is off. I've drifted it all over the place and even spun out once...

I'd recommend NOT disabling it until you have spent a ton of time getting used to how the car handles before the system overrides you. Turn VDC off with the button on the dash and go play, find out what the car thinks it's limits are first. After you know exactly what it's going to do, when it's going to do it, and how it's going to do it, then you can feel free to start bypassing the rest of it.
Reason I say this is that eventually you're going to want to try something stupid and if you do that before you're 100% checked out on what's going to happen you're going to wreck your car and / or hurt someone.
I don't know how long you've had your car or been trying to slide it around but by your low post count my first assumption is that you've gotten the G35 relatively recently. Regardless of what else you've driven and how you've driven it each car will handle a little bit differently. Learn what this one can do before you start overriding it's standard systems, they're good at saving your ***, so find out how far you can push it before you hang your *** out too far.
When you're ready to disable it, the link Cali*Coast posted will work.

So all I would need is a switch with 2 leads? Putting a 2 lead switch in-line with the Orange wire that breaks/connects the orange wire? If I want the car to run normally the switch should be "closed" where signal travels straight through the switch, but if I want VDC off then throw the switch which would break the connection of the orange wire (essentially cut it), and the VDC will be disabled? Correct?

Pretty sure the rest off the traction control stuff can also be completely taken away with Osiris. Only downside is you have you completely reflash the ecu each time...its not like you can have 1 map with it on and another with it off.
